  1. East or West: where should we Face Economically? XN Iraki, PhD Senior lecturer & Coordinator, Research and Publications, University of Nairobi School of Business

  2. Introduction • Bedford • Anglia • Leyland • Rover • Land Rover • ICL • Where are they today?

  3. East • Faw • KIA • Daewoo • Samsung • Toyota • Tata • Haier • Huawei • Tecno

  4. Are we really turning East? • Economically it seems so with so many products • Politically it seems so; Uhuru visit to China • But we have not copied their political system, one party rule • Intellectually no; ever seen anyone quoting Chinese or Japanese scholar unless they are in the West; forget the language • Why do we forget India in turning East? • 100 years presence • Pharmacy of the world and soon medical hospital of the world? • Familiarity?

  5. Lets look for empirical evidence that we are turning East… • We expect economies to be highly correlated, the same way friends walk together… • We can assume that if two economies trade with each other, the growth should be highly correlated or graphically trend together. • Example…USA vs. UK

  6. USA vs. UK: corr = 0.708769

  7. USA vs. Canada: corr= 0.838001

  8. Kenya vs UG: corr= 0.128989

  9. Where…

  10. Kenya vs. TZ: corr= 0.554636 : Interesting!

  11. China vs. Kenya: corre=-0.29277, -0.02033 (since 2000)

  12. Kenya vs. India: corr= 0.390095 ! 0.521163 , since 2000

  13. Kenya vs. USA: corre=-0.11068, 0.310285 (since 2000)

  14. We are still facing West.. • Boeing, Ford, Chevrolet, KFC • PWC, HILTON, • News sources..CNN, • Education opportunities..which is cooler • Political inspiration…American flag in rallies, • American names of places eg Mississippi, New York • Integration is still far…compare UG and India!

  15. Where else should we face… • The answer lies in demographics… • Next slide…
